Already use it! Even bought it! Loving it. Helps me turn off my pc at night ;)

Youtube is my one biggest source of distraction these days so I'd like to block it at certain times, but at the same time, it's also a source of great material which makes me understand and memorize topics that I struggle with. I'd still like to access these kinds of videos while I am studying. Is there a way to go around this (Windows/Android)?

Hey thats cool!
Been telling myself discipline and dopamine detox will get me there for months, but i cant even get started. I can do one day right and then i fail. I well most definitely get this.

Thank you for the breakdown. I’ve been looking for something to help me solve my 11year old’s YouTube distraction during digital learning. This a great start!

I'm interested in installing Cold Turkey, what you show in the video is the free version or the version in which you have to pay?

[thesittingtraveller]

Question, when the block is on, can i add websites and apps to the block list, or I'm locked out of editing the list?

[ellenweissman]

Scott, I have just discovered your YouTube videos and love them! I'm learning so much!! THANK YOU!
But I'm a typo/grammar fanatic and feel compelled to point out the misuse of the apostrophe!! In "see all of it's blocking features" written above, "it's" is a possessive, not a contraction!

[masonverkruisen]

Last I checked, the mobile blocker isn't anywhere near full-featured, and in fact it is more or less just the frozen turkey blocker component on the blocker (the part that will just lock you out of your computer)

I'm using this to help me study and sleep at night. used free version .. very helpful, but I often struggle to pull the trigger and give myself another hour and then another hour... xD I started a free trial today and made a schedule.. so come tomorrow it won't be up to me if I get another hour of watching YT. I started out with just one day schedule.. I'll try scheduling for more days next. (I'm scared) ha ha.. I'll buy the pro version when my trial is over. I need there to be no way of backing out of my schedule.

I can't seem to get the extension enabled. A pop up saying " you have 60 seconds to enable the extension" comes up and it just shuts the browser down.. the extension is already turned on. Please help

[Hulaenglish]

Just downloaded it and learning how to use. Thanks for sharing

[ShamisTalib]

Can you PLEASE tell me how to set up my google calendar to show the all day events at the top so I can use it to put my to do list there. 😩😩😩 I don’t see how

[MikliOktarianto]

[woodrowclose]

Thanks for this video. Had trouble at first but working just great now. Very clearly explained.

[falscherkim]

I have a really big problem with YouTube binging and....online adult stuff...if you know what i mean...maybe this tool will help me. Thanks!

[kennethchew]

thank you this was really helpful, the only problem i have with cold turkey is that it keeps saying certain features are reserved for pro users but i know i already paid for pro, other wise it gets the job done i'm going to activate it now for about a month, thank you again

[daphnieo.primor]

Hello :) I am just curious if is there a possibility to change the time limit of distractions you set, for those websites you block once it is set to be blocked?

[kcninetales]

How do I enable this in AVG Secure Browser? I tried blocking Twitter, but I can still access it, unless I'm on normal Google Chrome.

[UpgradeU-]

But i want do it to my coworkers without they know that.
But why program affiche in page this words, why not just page black

[npgaming]

Does this also block the uninstalling of the program
